We had a nice 4 nights in old Town. the room was large enough, bath had a shower curtain to keep toilet dry. we were given water only on the first day. the 4th floor room was a hike after a long day of walking and quite warm in the afternoon as the key was needed to make the electric work. it took a while to cool down, but once cool was good. it's in the same block as the Thipsamai pad Thai place, which is very popular with long lines all night long. there are canal boats a block away. one is a tour boat for 200bt for the day, has 7 stops and can get you to the palace and temple area near the River. You can also walk to the palace in 30. be aware of friendly Thai who seem to be trying to help you, by telling you the temple is closed until 2 and a tuktuk can take you to other stuff while you wait. there is also a canal taxi for less that can get you to the new town for 9-11bt depending on what dock you go to. Also nearby is the golden mountain and a temple. you can also walk to Chinatown, the giant swing and democracy monument. they also helped us with a taxi ride to the BKK airport at 5:30 for 500bt.
